Set Dosa

Set Dosa:

This is one of my all time favorites from the restaurants/darshini's in Bangalore. Love to eat them hot with mixed vegetable saagu and fresh coconut chutney followed with a hot cup of strong filter coffee. Wow.. I am getting nostalgic now..

Below is the recipe which we tried to get rid of the cravings. :)

Ingredients:

Rice/Dosa Rice -  1 cup

Urad dal - 1 hand ful

Sabodana - 1 handful

Beaten rice/Poha - 2 handful

Puffed rice - 1 handful

Oil for making dosas

Method:
1) Soak all the ingredients over night (Except Puffed rice).  Soak kalle puri before grinding the mixture.

2) Grind all the ingredients along with puffed rice and let it ferment for 6-7 hours or overnight.

3) Now, heat a flat pan, and once its hot, pour this mixture around the pan to form a circle. (For set dosa make a thick pan cake) Preferably keep on medium flame to cook the dosa well.

4) Pour 1 tspn of oil around the dosa, and once its cooked turn it around to cook on the other side.

5) Repeat this for 3 more dosas and stack them together to form set dosa.

6) Now dosa is ready to be served with any favourite chutney of your choice or Mixed vegetable saagu.
